London Calling

Goodness, what a daft world we live in! I have, over the last few days entered into the world of internet service providers, computer manufacturers and phone companies.

At the huge risk of sounding like a grumpy old man (which I probably am) it’s a minefield isn’t it?

After some hours spent on the phone trying to ensure a seamless transition between geriatric dial-up, a really really old computer and the brave new world of Broadband and Windows Vista, I’m now in a position of having no service provider currently, a computer that is somewhere in transit from (I think) India and a very very sore ear.

I know it’s the well-trodden path of many grumpy blog commontators,,,,,, but dear God ! Spare me call centres in funny places, people who refuse to listen or speak English properly and tell you downright lies in trying to provide what is (laughingly) called “customer service”

Tiscali, Dell and BT……Beware ….This VIP is simmering regarding the way he’s been treated by what used to be described (in another world far away) as “jobs worth’s”

As I tell the people I work with, to improve their anger management skills. “We are at our most dangerous when we know we are right”
We’re all doomed !
